As she walked into the foyer of the stylish home, the makeup mogul stepped onto a bed of rose petals that covered the floor. On a note the 21-year-old  shared  with her followers, it read, "Happy birthday!!! We're just getting started."  J'Adore Les Fleurs tells E! News that because of the size of the space, the rose petals in the video would cost approximately $25,000.  It's unclear who enjoyed the luxurious gift more, Kylie or her daughter,  Stormi Webster ?

BY  KYLE ZEEMAN Tshepo bareetseng blog AKA has bulldozed into the debate over South Africa and Nigerian music, telling his rivals and fans who think Nigeria is better to fix their lives. The rapper, who is no stranger to the odd Twitter rant, called a Twitter general assembly on Monday evening to address those who claimed Nigeria was better for artists and wished they were from that country.  " You wish you were what?! F*ck outta here, bruv!  South Africa is a f*cking miracle, and being South African is a f*cking honor and a privilege. Don’t let anyone ever tell you any other nonsense!  Don’t ever be shy about being proud of your country. That is what we can learn from Nigeria!"

Durban-based dance duo Distruction Boyz nearly shut down the internet on Friday with the release of their highly-anticipated debut album Gqom is The Future‚ something that was all part of their master plan. “We were blown away with response to the album but it was really what we expected. It all went according to plan‚” the group’s Thobane ‘Que’ Mgobozi said. Que and his bandmate Zipho ‘Goldmax’ Mthembu set the ambitious goal to become the first act to reach gold certification for a gqom album. Gqom is a genre of dance music popular in Durban‚ only made mainstream recently. “We have only just released the physical copies of the album so it’s a little too early to tell how far we are from reaching gold but we have no doubt that we are going to go gold and even platinum. People love our music and our digital sales have been amazing. We are number one across the country‚” Que said. The group were instru...

Kim has been very open about her interest in surrogacy since she was told it's not safe for her to carry a third child. "I'm definitely leaning more towards I want to try... After talking to Kanye, I think I always knew that surrogacy was an option, but I didn't think it was that realistic of an option, and now I feel like that's my reality. I feel like surrogacy really is the only other option for me," Kim said on KUWTK back in April. And now it's a reality!

By Tsh epo   Bareetseng Kanye West is reportedly leaving Tidal after fighting with Jay-Z's music streaming service over money, according to a new report from TMZ. The rapper allegedly feels like he's owed more than $3 million for bonuses and reimbursement for music videos after he debuted his album "Life of Pablo" on the service over a year ago, according to the TMZ report. He's reportedly left the company over the fight, according to TMZ. Tidal didn't respond to Business Insider's request for comment. Jay-Z relaunched Tidal in 2015 with a roster of other A-list artists as an artist-backed alternative to Pandora or Spotify. Tidal claims to pay more royalties and was set up as a co-ownership with Jay-Z's artist friends like Madonna and Coldplay's Chris Martin. West was one of the original artists to buy into Tidal's mission and fight back against companies like Apple who was trying to build its own competing service. Part of Tidal's bi...

By Tshepo Bareetseng Kwesta reached the milestone recently said he was humbled by South Africa’s response to the track.

He joined the likes of Pitch Black Afro‚ Cassper Nyovest‚ K.O‚ Riky Rick‚ AKA and Emtee‚ in selling over 40‚000 copies of an album. Despite waiting several years for his chance in the limelight‚ Kwesta said that he didn’t make the album to prove anything to the world. “It feels absolutely amazing to have received so much love. I’ve come to realise that Ngud’ is no longer my song. It doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to South Africa. It is their anthem‚” he said. “I was introducing myself on my first album and by the second album I wanted to prove to the world that I had what it takes to be a star. This album I was far more relaxed. I just wanted to make good music. There were no agendas. “I know how hard it is to sell albums nowadays‚ especially a double-disc album ...

By   Tshepo   Bareetseng South Africa how you feel? The comments about La Flame's shows and it seems that one should actually pitch up barefoot, with no phone nor wallet to lose and maybe have a first aid kit as opposed to a snatchel hung around you. Travis Scott just broke the Guinness World Record for performing one song the most times in a row (he did it 14 times) at his Oklahoma City leg of the Birds Eye View tour. The previous record was held by Jay Z and Kanye West who performed N!as In Paris 12 times 5 years ago in, well, Paris. Just like how the crowd was cooperative for all 14 plays.  You will be amazed by all of this.  Watching the clip is so lit but would I maintain my high past the third play? What is most importantly asking is if the Mzantsi crowd would've played along like this here.

Emtee's got a new single Ghetto Hero and with this he said his sophomore is on the way as well. The piano heavy piece is a croon about hope, inspiration and becoming something of greatness to the normal kid in the hood. The African Trap king wants to be something like Steve Biko, a perfect reflection for Freedom Month I'd say. He's sounding so refined on this joint. The layers in the song and that crispness that you're hearing might just be the magic touch of Don Laka alongside Ruff on production. This new hit single makes one wonder about the sounds on the new album.

By   Tshepo   Bareetseng The Fate Of The Furious is gunning for the jugular with the latest franchise's soundtrack. The list of heavyweights on the tracklist is endless.

This music video sees the guys at a stadium surrounded by mad racing cars and smoke. You know, the kind of thing you can expect from a Fast & Furious movie.

BlaK Lez takes us back with a classic joint from Chaka Khan. You know her kids well she had this joint called Eye to Eye when apartheid was the thing in South Africa. The Black Steve Biko brings it to life and Joburg doesnt have enough might to change who he is so all the shallow socialites and celebrities get the cold shoulder. This is one you need to fux with.
